Johannesburg mayor Mpho Phalatse has announced her mayoral committee team, which she says is ready to fix the city.
Her office said the multi-party committee follows weeks of negotiations between political parties to bring a stable government in the City of Johannesburg.
They are:
Finance – Julie Suddaby (DA)
Group Corporate and Shared Services – Leah Knott (DA)
Transport – Funzela Ngobeni (Action SA)
Development Planning – Belinda Echeozonjoku (DA)
Housing – Mlungisi Providence Mabaso (IFP)
Economic Development – Nkuli Mbundu (Action SA)
Health and Social Development – Franco De Lange (FF+)
Community Development – Ronald Winston Harris (ACDP)
Environment and Infrastructure Service Delivery – Michael Sun (DA)
Public Safety – David Thembe (Action SA)
Phalatse said she believes the individuals would be able to steer the city in the right direction.
“I am honoured to lead this team of dynamic councillors as we get down to the task of getting things done in the City of Johannesburg. I have no doubt that each member of this mayoral committee will do everything in their power to ensure the best results for the residents of this great city in each of their portfolios,” she said.
Phalatse further added that she was under no illusions that success would be achieved overnight. However, she is confident that the mayoral committee was more than capable of dealing with the task ahead and getting things done.
